Interview (2015): Thurston Moore came in and saw us, and he said that if we could get away with something like that, he could start a band too.

Bettina KösterBorn15 June 1959, Germain 

As a member of Malaria!, Mania D. and even the first line-up of Einstürzende Neubauten, Bettina Köster played a key role in the underground scene of West Berlin in the late seventies and early eighties. Now in her fifties, she is still active. In a few months, she will be playing at BIMfest. We called her in her current home in Italy.

Malaria! was founded by Bettina Köster and Gudrun Gut in 1981 in Berlin. Their song "Kaltes, klares Wasser" became a hit from 1981 on and was highly recognized after a remix release in 2001.

Gudrun Gut was an early member of Einstürzende Neubauten and later started two record labels Moabit Records and Monika Enterprises.
